If I can get this Cummins back to normal just by adding some
oil to the fuel, I'll be a very happy man! That's the kind of
fixes I like.
Sitting here this morning, I recalled another quirk with this
motor. Every time after starting it and bumping the manual
throttle up some, it would start to increase rpms. A slow
but gradual increase to the point I'd have to run over to
the truck and knock the throttle back to idle. It'll sit there
and idle without a problem, but bump it up a few hundred
rpm and off it will go. I never had a problem driving it after
a warm up, though now I'm worried. I don't wanna be the
person that sets the land speed record for crossing a corn
field or housing development :)
Thanks for the suggestion and explanation.
